Seth? What sort of name is that?

Despite not possessing a particularly menacing name Seth has proven to be a genuine master of frustration in the excellent Street Fighter IV. GavinoX found himself warned within seconds of purchasing the game that "Seth will eat you" and "you really should buy another joy-pad because you'll soon be throwing one against a wall or through the nearest window."

"Ha! Talentless fools!" mocked GavinoX in response, "I'll defeat this Seth and bring you back his head on a stick" (in a scene remarkably reminiscent of the Monty Python and the Holy Grail, "There's the monster!" "What, behind the rabbit?" "It IS THE RABBIT!!!!").

Seth has since proved to be a worthy opponent, dishing out multi-hit dragon punches, double sonic booms and random quick-fire teleports interspersed with a sickeningly nasty uppercut/spinning pile-driver combo throw. His abilty to initiate literally unstoppable combinations of powerful moves has driven gamers to dispair (and online to the relative safety of xbox-live challenges) since the day he was forged in the very depths of hell itself.

Obviously in theory anyone should be able to defeat him with enough time on their hands; as the law of averages always applies, but in this instance the law itself gave up long ago in frustration. The only way you stand a chance of beating this monster is to figure out the best time to attack. Sit back for a few bouts and just try to defend his attacks, only then will you notice the chinks in his armour; the way he is vulnerable to air attacks while using his gravity pull, the way that he rebounds off the back wall and lands in perfect range for a crouch H-kick etc. Do not be fooled however that these are not gaping "look at my red spot -> shoot here" opportunities, they are genuinely mere cracks on the dam wall. Target these opportunities and you wil triumph... if not straight away... maybe by the time you're beard starts to turn grey... what do you mean you've not started shaving yet?

"Hey you, what's that in place of your lower intestine?"

The reason for Seth's apparent all-conquering power? GavinoX can only speculate, but being silver, bald and with a name like Seth and having a large spinning ying/yang orb in your abdomen must have been difficult at school...
